Glitter Meetup
Glitter Meetup (GM) are weekly online gatherings that happens every Thursday at 9:00am EST, designed to help the Internet Freedom community connect throughout the year It.
While Glitter Meetups are informal, mimicking old school IRC chats, they are full of useful information such as: regional and project updates from around the world, and expertise from featured guest. In addition, participants are able to seek support in-real time from other community members.
GMs take place on the IFF Mattermost Square Channel. If you need an invitation to the platform, or would like to be a featured guest, please email [email protected]

The Culture
Remember that we strive for a positive, safe, and, yes, fun environment. Be respectful and mindful, and take time to learn from each other. Also, while we believe that debate is healthy, the IFF Square is not the place for passionate, long-winded debates that usually involve a handful of people. We encourage you to continue your conversation in an opt-in channel setup for it, or in a private chat. If you need help understanding how to do this, let us know.
Lastly, we encourage you to read our code of conduct, privacy policy and community guidelines from our 2018 event, to get a better idea of what we expect from community members: https://www.internetfreedomfestival.org/wiki/index.php/Code_of_Conduct Please feel free to DM me privately if you have any questions or concerns.
The Language
While English is the language used for the Glitter Meetup, we are conscious that it’s not everyone’s first language. The goal is to share not perfect English. If we are going too fast, please let us know. In addition, if you speak more than two languages, try to help if someone needs translation. Remember, we are all here to help each other! In the future, if there is interest, we will have these in other languages.
